An iPod in every pot? The Statue of Liberty holding an iPad in her left hand? Steve Jobs’ on Mount Rushmore? Don’t laugh, considering Apple (Stock Quote: AAPL) now has more cash on hand than the U.S. government.

And anyway, Steve Jobs would veto the idea. All indications are that the Apple CEO would likely walk past Uncle Sam and his tin cup without a glance. Last October, Jobs noted his philosophy on cash. “We don’t let the cash burn a hole in the pocket or make stupid acquisitions. We’d like to continue to keep our powder dry because we think there are one or more strategic opportunities in the future.”

So, no, the nation’s capital isn’t moving to Cupertino any time soon. But if money really is power, then Steve Jobs holds more mojo right now than the President of the United States.
